Hello Graham
Below, a handler I tried while I was struggling with printing, and that
worked well on Mac (but I got problems on Windows and I abandonned it).
on imprimer
formatPourImprimer -- that is the handler that you have and I use to
format my texte
set the printmargins to 72,50,50,72
revShowPrintDialog true,true
put tab & "Page " & "<%pageNumber%>" into footer -- put "Page
n" at the bottom of each page
revPrintText (the htmlText of fld "PourImprimer"),,footer
end imprimer
I just tried it again, and this works well on Mac (without any printing
substack). Only a special printing fld (where "formatPourImprimer"
installs the text to print) This printingfield stays directly in my
main stack.
Hope it help ;
André

In my continuing search for a multi-page printing solution, I was
amazed to find the following in the Dictionary for RR 2.7.0:
revPrintText
Syntax: revPrintText
textToPrint[,headerText[,footerText[,fieldTemplate]]]
Library: Printing library
See also: answer printer command , print command , revPrintField
command , revShowPrintDialog command
Summary:
Prints formatted or unformatted text.
revPrintText "Hello world"
[and a lot more besides, including headers and footers..]
What amazed me was that nobody had mentioned it before, while I was
writing arcane enquiries to the list about counting lines, short final
pages etc.
Anyway, early tests suggest that it mostly works, although clearly it
is a bit limited, and it's also a bit temperamental (e.g. if you feed
it a parameter it doesn't like - even one which is legal according to
the documentation - it just puts up the print dialog and then fails to
print anything, while 'the result' stays empty; sometimes it seems to
refuse to print for no apparent reason, particularly if it is invoked
twice in successive lines of script - a buffering problem?; and I have
a feeling it likes to change the print margins without telling you
about it), but I think it may well have solved a lot of problems that
I was trying to solve in a very much more complicated way. I'm still
testing. Much the same behaviour on the Mac so far, BTW.
Has anyone else any experience of this command (well, I suppose
strictly it's a handler in the printing library)?
